Ranking 2011 Big Ten Recruiting Classes by position

Thought this was worth sharing....Free Rivals content...

Nebraska:

QB #2
RB #2----disagree with this one....Huskers should be #1
WR #11
TE #11
OL #1---our biggest need and where we will build the offense around
DT #2---also think we should be #1 here too
DE #9
LB #7
DB #2----think we should be #1 here too....
Athlete #1

Green is a 5-star on Scout and ESPN....Rivals drops him from 28 to 61 after he commits to Nebraska....the HI folks were not happy about that and let it be known they disagreed....politics in play by Rivals which they are infamous for....

Notre Dame only had one Rudy but Nebraska gets a new crop of Rudys every season

Found it interesting that Starling was listed as an athlete while Turner was the QB

If Starling stays on campus it seems as though it's more likely for Turner to be used in various roles than Bubba. Of course there is much water to pass under the bridge before any of this happens but it had me scratching my head.

Yeah me too....they changed him about a month or so back....some talk he may play TE....at least in recruiting circles...not from Bo lips...

Turner will see the field, in my opinion, next year in a slot-back/WR role....he is too good of an athlete to not see the field....

I ran the number for analysis. Yup, Ohio State came out the clear winner. But something that shocked me was that the Legends division had a much better signing class overall. An omen of things to come? Perhaps we're actually in the "tougher" division? Who knows.

For you math heads, all I did was a simple average. Statistically, this would indicate each position is of equal value to the team, which we know to be false. However, since we're ranking recruits it actually works out alright because we don't know which players will actually become stars. Basically, we don't know which QB is the next bust and which DT is the next Suh.

Looks like Ron Brown has his work cut out for him. It would be nice to have an underrated Swift-like player burst out on the scene.

I'm thinking that Turner and Starling would be candidates to make it on the field at WR (or poss. TE for Starling) this fall, especially Turner having Spring ball. Athleticism and speed will be huge assets in this new offense, I'm guessing.

TE seems pretty set this year, but the depth chart in the first game at WR may be a complete surprise. I expect Brown to revamp that position completely.

One thing is probably clear though...if you can't block, and you aren't consistent, you probably won't get on the field under Brown.

To me having Ron Brown back at WR/TE to me a very goodthing to happen. When he was there before receivers did make big plays and of course their blocking was the highlight of what they contributed to the offense. I foresee more hardnosed tough play out of them this year GBR
